Hieromonk Platon (Kudlasevich)
Holy Pascha is for everyone.
We venerate the Passion of Christ, we run to Him, we receive strength, we pray, and at the same time we glorify the Radiant Resurrection of Christ.
Having received a special grace and been vouchsafed to see God once, afterwards St. Silouan felt a longing for the Creator and strove in every possible way to please Him and regain the grace that the Lord had abundantly bestowed upon him in his youth when he worked as a novice at the mill of St. Panteleimon’s Monastery on Mt. Athos.
In these holy days let’s think about how we can respond to God’s love, for which He was born of the Virgin Mary.
On the Apodosis of Pascha some brethren of the Moscow Sretensky Monastery have answered the question of how to preserve Paschal joy.
